Dormitory

I’ve finally left Venice and its super expensive super slow and super well hidden internet cafes. I’m now in Ljubljana and i’ll report on the architecture biennale when i’m back home next week. I saw many of those spectacular photographs of “architecture of density” at the Biennale. One of the most striking work i discovered in that category was a metaphor for the phenomenon itself.

Detail of Dormitory

Dormitory, by Chinese photographer Wang Qingsong, is a huge picture showing dozens of people trying to find intimacy while they are living on top of each other in cage like minimal spaces.
